MACHINE FOR COILING METAL STRIPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,509, dated January 5, 1886. Application filed November 28, 1884. Serial No. 149,005. (Model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, OHARLEs C. FINNERAN, of Painesville, in the county of Lake and State of Ohio, have invented a Machine for Ooiling Metal Strips, which invention is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying draw- Ings.

The object of myinvention is to coil roundhem, turned-edge, corrugated, or plain metal oil-cloth binding, or metal strips of any kind, for the convenience of packing the same.

A. Figure l, shows themachiue complete in all its parts. B is a metal disk that is cut away at B' to show the working parts beneath. The parts of the machine are moved by gearwheels, which are secured on the outer ends of the shafts h and Z.

The machine is illustrated more in detail in Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5. A

The operation of tliis invention is thus described. The metal strip is placed in the groove m and passed under the clip G. Then it passes round the roller C continuously until the strip is coiled. To prevent the end which is iirst passed through the roller from passing through the second time, the end of the circular guide O, as shown at H in Fig. 2, is bent outward for t-he purpose of carrying the free end of the coil to the front. The guide c, which is. formed on the inner edge of the curved guide E, (shown at Fig. 3,) then takes the end of said coil and passes it to the front of the disk B. The circularguideO has the groove I formed in its inner edge, and foll lows its whole inner circumference. This groove I is for the purpose of guiding the strip and keeping it in its place. The curved guide E has the stop F, (shown in Fig. 3,) attached near its front edge, for the purpose of guiding the coil. The coiled edge .of the strip presses against the inner edge of the stop F, which keeps the coil in its place and prei vents its assuming a spiral form. The guide E may be adjusted toward or away from the center of C by means of slots e and e and screws g and g. The lower roller, D, has the grooves c o formed on both edges to guide the strip. They are shown in Fig. 4. The disk B is placed in front of the working parts, and covers them, with the exception of a small portion in the front of the circular guide O, thus exposing the end of the same. The disk B is placed in front of the working parts of the machine to separate the coil therefrom and prevent its becoming entangled. The edge ot' the disk shown atf is curved outwardfor the purpose of throwing the completed coil clear of the machine. 'Ihe disk B is adj ustably secured to the frame ofthe machine by means of a slot, o, and a screw. and a brace, B2, riveted to B atb, and having slot b, through which passes a screw, b. l

I claim as my inventionl. The circular guide O, with its grooved inner edge,I, and curved end H, substantially as and for the purpose as hereinbefore setl forth.

2. The curved guide E, with its stop F and guide c, substantially as and for the purpose as hereinbefore set forth.

3. The disk B, with its curved edge f, substantially as and for the purpose as hereinbefore set fort-h.

4. The combination of the circular guide O, With its grooved. inner edge, I, and curved end H, the curved guide E, with its stop F, and guide c, the disk B, with its curved edge f, the lower roller, D, with its grooves c o, the clip G, and groove m, in combination with the other working parts of the machine, substantially as and for the purpose as hereiubefore set forth.

CHARLES FINNERAN.
